:drool:
Oh man, this rocks! Can't wait to see this develop.

Lookin pretty co0L...the hand mechanics and the sketch look reminds me of Mean Machine from Judge Dredd.

Keep it up, can't wait to see more! :buttrock:

[Clanger]

I was thinking the same thing hell. My eye for organic modelling is either short-sighted, or covered in cataracts. :surprised

And that sketch is fantastic.

[pearson]

Hmm, well, so far, so good, but...I don't know...I mean with the mask and the saws instead of hands...is it extreme enough? :p

j/k! More, More!!! :bounce:

[tascitus]

hellrender, drunkenmaster: there is no shortcut to organic modeling, the only way to learn it is to do it as much as possible. every time i model critters i learn some new technique or rule out an old one. the biggest tip i can give is to use refernce material as much as possible.

pearson: only one of his hands is a saw, he has to be able to carry the "ball" somehow. :)

had an hour to get some more done so heres an update.of course its still very rough..

Exceptional work Tascitus! Fantastic definition. Your artistic skill is incredible.:eek:

Keep it coming!:wip:

[the_jonas]

ohh nice body, love the ribs already :xtreme:

[tascitus]

erilaz::buttrock:

the jonas: theribs are commng along pretty well. that pic was taken of the smoothed mesh, so for now its detail will be some what lower. i wanted to make sure the geometry would align itself well for final rib placement later on.

roughed out the saw today. have to beat it up quite a bit on th e modeling side still.

[Mangled Poly]

Wow this is looking really really nice...

[JCGA]

:drool: Ooooh.. I get warm all over watching that sexy saw prosthesis... :) This will be awesome!!

[Benno]

I think the sport this kit is designed for would make "extreme" an understatement!!
I'm scared:surprised
Beautiful work too BTW
Cheers:)

[drewzer]

Very nice work, you have a good grasp on the human form.
:buttrock:

[drunkenmaster20]

I like the arm mod very much, I think this is gonna be cool, but I still can't work out what it's going to be. (other than dangerous) :)

[tascitus]

i'm glad you guys like it so far. your comments are always a great motivation for me to push myself. :love:

drewzer: when i model humanoids i keep reference images at hand, and model over a dummy for quicker placement of key verts.
i also keep Hogarth's Dynamic Anatomy at my desk (usually laying open infront of my keyboard) as a reminder.

drunken, benno: the sport is a pretty basic melding of a modern sport and an ancient "game" with some hightech elements thrown in.

[Beastie]

Looks like a sport better to watch than play! :eek: Looking good Tact. :thumbsup:

[tascitus]

yay, had some time to do more work.

http://home.dc.rr.com/foilfenser/images/e8.jpg

and started working on the mask today.

http://home.dc.rr.com/foilfenser/images/e7.jpg

[Mangled Poly]

Wow awesome mask!! maybe one crit the top of his head looks a little low poly smooth it out a bit more....

[tascitus]

thanks! the top of the head wont be seen, and is only there as a guide for helm construction. there are 3 more segments to build before its finished.

[Mangled Poly]

well sorry for assuming i guess what they say is true! anyways looking forward to the whole head!

[tascitus]

found time to update. my work sched has been a little hectic of late so personal projects have taken a back seat. xing my fingers this weekend will be productive.

[erilaz]

A great look. I guess the man-machine fusion came about from them continuously losing limbs during other games?:D

That arm still awes me. A really nice look indeed.
